ASTM, known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, is an internationally influential standards organization dedicated to the development and publication of standards for various industries. These standards provide uniform test methods, specifications and guidelines for U.S. industry. These standards are designed to ensure the quality, performance, and safety of products and materials and to facilitate the smooth operation of international trade.
The diversity and coverage of ASTM standards is extensive and covers a wide range of fields including, but not limited to, materials science, construction engineering, chemistry, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.ASTM standards cover everything from the testing and evaluation of raw materials to the requirements and guidance during product design, production, and use.
ASTM A36/A36M:
Standard specification for steel covering the requirements for structural carbon steel for construction, fabrication, and other engineering applications.
A36 Steel Plate Enforcement Standards
Execution standard ASTM A36/A36M-03a, (equivalent to ASME code)
A36 plate use
This standard applies to bridges and buildings with riveted, bolted and welded structures, as well as general-purpose structural steel quality carbon steel sections, plates and bars.A36 steel plate yield in about 240MP, and will increase with the thickness of the material to make the yield value decreases, due to the moderate carbon content, the overall performance of the better, the strength, plasticity and welding and other properties to get a better match, the most widely used.
A36 steel plate chemical composition:
C: ≤ 0.25, Si ≤ 0.40, Mn: ≤ 0.80-1.20, P ≤ 0.04, S: ≤ 0.05, Cu ≥ 0.20 (when the provisions of copper-containing steel).
Mechanical properties:
Yield strength: ≥250 .
Tensile strength: 400-550.
Elongation: ≥20.
National standard and A36 material is similar to Q235.
